Marble & Wrought Iron

This home sits between the niche museums, art galleries and postcard-perfect streets of Paris’ Le Marais neighbourhood. Simply strolling the streets from your front door is a quintessential Parisian experience, exploring the local bistros and bakeries. If you want hit the major sights of the City of Lights – the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower – Rambuteau metro station is just a few minutes’ walk away.

The apartment is within a 19th-century building, with original-feeling features on display – the ornate fireplace in the living room and wrought iron railings that allow the French windows to become a Juliet-style balcony. In the living room, one wall is dedicated to the kitchen, should you wish to cook for yourself, and there’s a little library of books. The bedroom faces an internal courtyard, so you’ve got peace and quiet in the centre of the city.
